Kenneth Cook

Kenneth Cook (1929–1987) was an Australian journalist, film director, scriptwriter and novelist best known for his works "Wake in Fright" and the "Killer Koala" trilogy. Born in Lakemba, New South Wales, Cook attended Fort Street High School. He founded a new political party and the first butterfly farm in Australia. While on a camping trip near his birthplace, Cook died of a heart attack.

"Wake in Fright" was adapted for the screen in 1971 by Ted Kotcheff, starring Donald Pleasance and Gary Bond (released under the title "Outback" in Europe and the US).
